Kid Friendly Sloppy Joes

Years ago, when our hungry teenage boys came abode for dinner (with hungry friends tagging along) it was a challenge to feed them all amongst 1 pan of Sloppy Joe's. Unexpected "guests" at the dinner tabular array were fun, but required some quick thinking, so I "stretched" this uncomplicated simply tried in addition to truthful recipe, by adding kidney beans, extra shredded veggies in addition to cheese. It was ever a large hit. Necessity is the woman bring upwards of conception I guess, give cheers goodness for versatile recipes similar this one.



 These days, amongst the kids all gone, I notwithstanding make full size batches of Sloppy Joes but I freeze the extra inward quart freezer bags. I position the leftover meat into the bag, removing as much of the air equally possible, in addition to thence patting the meat into a 1" thick apartment cast earlier freezing it (this sparse "disk" of Sloppy Joe filling thaws out quickly). I dear "instant" meals similar this. 

1 pound lean terra firma beef (I purpose 90% lean)
1/2 loving cup chopped onion
1/3 loving cup chopped celery
1/2 loving cup chopped bell pepper
1 loving cup shredded carrot
2/3 loving cup ketchup
1/2 loving cup water
two tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1/8 (to)1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (see note)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dark pepper
v hamburger buns, split upwards in addition to toasted

Cook the hamburger and vegetables together until meat is no longer pinkish (chopping upwards the meat equally it cooks) (drain meat well).

Stir inward remaining ingredients (except buns). Simmer on med-low for about 20 minutes (to cut down the consistency of the sauce, simply don't permit it larn likewise dry). Fill the hamburger buns amongst the beef mixture in addition to serve.


NOTE: After this is cooked, it keeps good inward the crockpot (on low) if your dinner lx minutes is uncertain.

NOTE: I serve these amongst a spell of cheese nether the meat mixture in addition to a squirt of yellowish mustard on piece of occupation yesteryear of the filling (our favorite).

NOTE: I brand this amongst an 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne because picky-picky married adult man is VERY SHY when it comes to heat/spice inward his food. If yous similar a footling to a greater extent than spark inward your sandwich, purpose 1/4 teaspoon.


ENJOY !!!
